Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo.

Tang San felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, but he quickly composed himself. He had made many preparations to persuade Tang Chen.

“It doesn’t matter if my great-grandfather doesn’t think much of his grandson, but I’ve always been thinking about my great-grandfather.”

"Don't you want to see Poseidon-senpai again?"

Tang Chen was taken aback at first, and then the temperature in the entire conference room suddenly dropped a few degrees.

"What do you mean by that?" Tang Chen asked in a deep voice.

“In fact, Poseidon did not die, because I am the first successor of the Sea God in tens of thousands of years, and her soul was taken into the realm of gods by the Sea God.”

"And I, having attained the position of Sea God, possess the authority to bring two of my closest relatives into the realm of the gods."

"If my great-grandfather lends me a hand, I can take him to the realm of gods before he reaches the end of his life and reunite with Poseidon, so that he may enjoy eternity."

Tang Chen clenched his fist immediately, and everyone else in the conference room stared wide-eyed.

Tang Chen's gaze lingered on Tang San.

Tang San shook his head: "I know what my great-grandfather was thinking. The reason why I can't take you to the God Realm right now is very simple."

"Those three from the Spirit Hall will also be able to ascend to the God Realm. If we don't deal with them now before we become gods, we'll be weak and vulnerable in the God Realm. Who knows what might happen then?"

Chapter 323 Advancement of the Front

Silves, at dawn, the darkest and quietest time of day.

As the capital of the Kingdom of Sylves, it has become almost the norm for Sylves to be sleepless at night.

The development of civilization brought firelight, and the city was brightly lit everywhere, but outside the city was still an endless sea of ​​dark ink.

The distant, rolling hills disappeared into the night, like sleeping giants lying prostrate. The occasional cries of wild animals and birds from the forest always made one's tense thoughts tremble.

"Haa~".

"Shouldn't it be time for the shift to change soon?" A soldier standing guard on the city wall, holding a spear, yawned and picked at his eyes, which had somehow become crusty with sleep, muttering to himself.

"Almost there, almost time for our shift to change at dawn." Another colleague stretched, knowing that night shifts were always the most grueling.

Before they could continue grumbling, a jet-black bird seemed to swoop down silently from behind and land in front of the city gate. Before they could see what it was, a huge roar suddenly exploded at the city gate.

"boom!"

It was as if a thunderclap had exploded throughout the entire city of Silves. Whether it was the common people enjoying the nightlife or the royal family members on their brocade beds in the capital, everyone was startled and their legs went weak by the sound of the thunder.

The guards standing on the city gate felt it most clearly. Along with the huge roar came a violent shaking that made their very skulls tremble, along with the screams and cries of their comrades below the city.

"What happened?" It wasn't that they were careless or negligent, but everything happened so suddenly and was so terrifying.

They shakily clung to the city wall and looked down, only able to see the flickering flames of campfire and the slowly opening city gate.

"Enemy attack!" The sound of war drums immediately rang out from the other end of the barbican.

The guards on the city wall shouted warnings, and the distant horizon seemed to be awakened by the drumbeats, with a glimmer of light appearing.

The light was so bright it was almost blinding, and it made the look of astonishment on the faces of the guards at the city gate crystal clear.

"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The rhythmic clatter of hooves shattered the last vestiges of silence in the mountains and forests, as dust billowed up, carrying with it the neighing of horses and the clanging of armor, like a torrent of water.

The sunlight shone on the cavalrymen's platinum chainmail, making it gleam and also illuminating the golden swan banners that rose behind them in a dazzling display.

"Success."

On a hill ten kilometers outside the capital city of Silves, the master clenched his fist, stood up excitedly, and handed the intelligence report from the Min clan to Emperor Xue Beng.

"Good, Master's surprise attack tactic really worked." After reading the intelligence, Avalanche showed an extremely happy smile on his face. The Royal Knights had successfully broken into the city of Silves.

In a sense, they could almost declare that they had officially reclaimed the Kingdom of Sylvester.

"Your Majesty flatters us. This is thanks to the Imperial Army and the elders of the Haotian Sect." The Grandmaster shook his head. This was their first battle, and they could only rely on this one. If it weren't for the fact that Silves City was so close to the border of the Tiandou Empire, they would never have succeeded.

"Master, you are too modest. This merit will certainly be recorded for you." Xue Beng quickly waved for the master to mount his horse together. He was eager to accept King Silves's surrender.

Tang San stood in the sky, gazing at the outline of Silves City in the distance and the vast army below, as dense as an ant colony. He revealed a faint, cold smile, and then his figure disappeared without a trace like a bubble.

--

In the afternoon, at the Papal Palace in Wuhun City.

The urgent secret message was quickly transmitted to the Papal Palace and the Presbyterian Palace.

"Teacher, the Heavenly Dou Empire launched a surprise attack on Silves City at sunrise today, and Silves City fell. The Star Luo Empire also launched a surprise attack on Hadrian City at the same time today, and the city also fell."

"The Heavenly Dou Empire has deployed over 700,000 troops, and the Star Luo Empire has deployed over 800,000 troops, with reserve forces still being assembled."

"In addition, according to reports from spies, the ranks of the three top sects' titled Douluo have appeared in the armies of the two great empires."

Hu Liena anxiously reported the latest battle information: the two great empires had launched attacks simultaneously, clearly preparing to attack Wuhun City from both sides.

"Alright, I understand." Bibi Dong simply nodded. "Nana, don't be nervous, the Elders' Hall already has a plan."

"Yes, teacher."

Seeing her teacher's calm expression, Hu Liena breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She was Bibi Dong's disciple and had known for a long time that the Spirit Hall was preparing to conquer the continent. She thought that the early actions of the two great empires would disrupt the Spirit Hall's plans, but now it seemed that everything was under her teacher's control.

In fact, Bibi Dong was not confident, but because they had received a secret letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School yesterday, informing them of the military action of the two great empires.

The key to this battle has never been these armies, but the decisive battle between Lu Mingfei and Tang San.

"What's the situation with Lu Mingfei?" Bibi Dong asked after a moment's thought.

Although Lu Mingfei said he would handle Tang San and Tang Chen, Bibi Dong was still somewhat uneasy about the matter, as it concerned life and death.

It's really unpleasant to have your fate in someone else's hands.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena shook her head: "His Highness Lu Mingfei seems to be in seclusion; he hasn't left his room today."

"Seclusion?" Bibi Dong nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although she knew that she wouldn't be able to achieve anything by going into seclusion for another month, she was at least a little more at ease.

“No, which room is he in?” Bibi Dong suddenly asked.

Hu Liena looked troubled, but finally told the truth: "It's the saint's room."

"What?" Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically. She thought Lu Mingfei had some sense of responsibility, but it turned out he was just this kind of person.

On the other side, Lu Mingfei yawned, pulled the blanket up, and sighed silently.

Last night he mentioned that Qian Renxue should go with him to the Star Dou Great Forest today to invite the Silver Dragon King.

Then he was suppressed by Qian Renxue and had no choice but to confess in detail about his several collaborations with the Silver Dragon King.

Of course, he wasn't that honest and didn't tell the whole truth. Qian Renxue still sensed something was amiss, which resulted in him calling Zhu Zhuqing over again last night, and no one getting out of bed until now.

How did life turn out like this, day by day?

"I'm going to rest for a bit. We'll set off tonight. You better behave yourself." Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Lu Mingfei. She originally thought Lu Mingfei was just a blockhead, but who would have thought that his cunning was unmatched by anyone on the entire continent.

You actually managed to hook up with a dragon god so quietly, you're something else!

Chapter 324 Siege

The Kingdom of Barak, outside Soto City, at the former site of Shrek Academy.

Ten days after the Tiandou Empire's army set off, Soto City of the Barak Kingdom fell.

With hundreds of thousands of troops and several titled Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire pressing in head-on, almost no city garrison was able to organize a frontal resistance.

In just half a day, Soto City raised the white flag.

Soto was Barak's granary, and for the first time, the master ordered the marching army to stop and rest for a day to replenish supplies.

Taking advantage of this day, Flander, Zhao Wuji, and Master Tang San, among others, arrived at the former site of Shrek Academy outside the city.

They left from here to Tiandou City, which became the number one academy in the Tiandou Empire, and even produced a god.

Tang San looked at the village where he had lived for six years and recalled the days he spent with Xiao Wu.

Back then, his father and Xiao Wu were by his side, but now, although he has become a god, he can never go back.

"Third Brother, don't be sad. We will definitely be able to rescue Xiao Wu from that bastard Lu Mingfei." Ma Hongjun stood behind Tang San, seizing every opportunity to flatter him.

It wasn't until Flander announced the suspension of classes at Shrek Academy that Ma Hongjun learned from them about Tang San's return and even his ascension to godhood.

Also, Dai Mubai suddenly left the academy because Tang San sent him back to Xingluo to become the crown prince and inherit the throne.

With such a powerful backer, when else would he turn to seek revenge? Therefore, he disregarded Flander's order to stay at the academy and eagerly went to the front lines, clinging to Tang San's coattails.

“You’re right, Fatty.” Tang San nodded as well. Although he had initially disliked Ma Hongjun’s foul mouth, he now felt great satisfaction hearing him scold Lu Mingfei.

"By the way, where's Xiao Ao?" Tang San asked.

Oscar joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School after returning from his travels in mainland China last year, and he is also in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's team for this expedition.

"They should be preparing lunch. Oh, here he comes." Ma Hongjun had just said that when he saw Oscar jogging over from behind.

"Oscar, you've finally arrived." Zhao Wuji immediately stood up and patted Oscar on the head. Compared to Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, Oscar was much less of a worry for them, as he frequently returned to Shrek Academy to show his respect to them this year.

"Teacher Zhao, it's been a long time." Oscar didn't hide, and greeted each of the teachers one by one before finally walking up to Tang San.

“Third Brother,” Oscar called out.

Previously, when Tang San went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to recruit Ning Fengzhi to join the expedition team, Ning Fengzhi had Oscar accompany him.

Seeing Oscar's genuine smile, Tang San felt a little more at ease.

"Looks like you're doing well at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Tang San patted Oscar's arm.

"Thank you for your concern, Third Brother. Uncle Ning has indeed been very good to me." Oscar nodded.

As a support Soul Master with innate full Soul Power, Ning Fengzhi naturally welcomed Oscar's arrival with open arms and feet, treating him as an inner disciple from the moment he entered the sect.

Not long ago, Tang San returned, and Ning Fengzhi treated him with even greater courtesy. Perhaps after this great battle ends and the Spirit Hall is destroyed, he might be able to ask Tang San to help him propose marriage, so he was naturally in an extremely good mood.

Tang San didn't care about Oscar's little schemes. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been quite cooperative this time. As for whether they had other intentions, he didn't care. What he needed to consider now was the overall situation. As for the mere Sword Bone Douluo, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School dared to betray him, he could destroy them in one move.

Just then, a military report was delivered to the master by a messenger.

The master frowned as he opened the letter.

"What's wrong, Xiaogang?" Liu Erlong asked with concern, and everyone else turned their attention to him as well.

Yu Xiaogang shook his head: "It's nothing, it's Xingluo's battle report. Mu Bai's advance is also going smoothly. According to my estimate, we will complete the encirclement two days ahead of schedule."

"Isn't this good news?" Zhao Wuji asked in confusion.

“I just feel that things are going too smoothly.” Yu Xiaogang pondered, “According to the current intelligence, Wuhun City has only gathered 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of soul masters. It doesn’t look like they are actively resisting.”

"What's the point of resisting in front of Third Brother? The Spirit Hall is just putting up a desperate fight even though they know they're doomed." Ma Hongjun said. So what if Lu Mingfei is strong? Can a Title Douluo be compared to a god?

If it weren't for the need to completely annihilate the Spirit Hall, they wouldn't even need a large army; Tang San alone could have slaughtered the Spirit Hall.

“Yes, what else can the Spirit Hall do now? They were just waiting to die anyway.” Oscar nodded in agreement.

With Tang San, Tang Chen, a million-strong army, and so many titles, what can the Spirit Hall possibly use to fight? They're just waiting to die.

Tang San understood Grandmaster's concerns. He and his great-grandfather were all on the front line of the Heaven Dou Empire. If the Spirit Hall launched a surprise attack on Star Luo, that front line would definitely collapse, and when they were surrounded, it would be equivalent to losing half of their troops.

"Don't worry, Master. The Spirit Hall is clearly placing all its hopes on the day of the final battle and won't do anything unnecessary. Besides, the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo can contact me. If Lu Mingfei dares to make a move, I will immediately go to Spirit City and destroy the Spirit Hall." Tang San nodded to reassure Grandmaster.

In fact, he didn't care about Xingluo's side at all. There was no difference between two million troops and one million troops; they were both meant to be given to Lu Mingfei.

The only indispensable forces were him and his great-grandfather Tang Chen; Xingluo was just an extra.

"As expected of Third Brother." Ma Hongjun clapped his hands after hearing Tang San's domineering reply: "What Lu Mingfei? The Spirit Hall is nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs."

Upon hearing this, the master felt somewhat relieved. Even he had never imagined that Tang San's plan would be so insane.

After a day of reorganization and replenishment of all provisions and supplies, the army set off again, marching in a grand procession towards Wuhun City.

As the two armies advanced, finally, on the twentieth day after their departure, and three days before Lu Mingfei's official title conferment ceremony, a total of 2.18 million troops from the two empires arrived simultaneously on both sides of the plains of Wuhun City and tacitly encircled the city, completely sealing it off.

"We've finally arrived." Xue Beng gazed at the city walls of Wuhun City. The thing he had always dreamed of accomplishing was about to be achieved.

Dai Mubai, who was on the other side, shared the same idea. As long as he could successfully take over Wuhun City in this battle, his right to succession would be indisputable.

The billowing smoke rose and billowed across the plains of Wuhun City.

The millions of soldiers, from top to bottom, were almost entirely immersed in the euphoria of achieving great feats. Only a handful of them knew what kind of enemy they would be facing next.

"Am I that shameful? It feels like the title conferment ceremony the day after tomorrow is going to be ruined?" Lu Mingfei stood on the city wall, looking at the vast army, and couldn't help but swear.
